![I remember hearing a good story about Jack Nicholson working with Stanley Kubrick on The Shining [1980]. Nicholson was saying that, as an actor, you always want to try to make things real. And believable. When he was working with Kubrick, he finished a take and said, "I feel like that was real." And Kubrick said, "Yes, it's real, but it's not interesting".](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-remember-hearing-a-good-story-about-jack-nicholson-working-with-stanley-kubrick.jpg)
